Britain's most desirable retirement properties

If you’re a bit “to the manor born”, then you might like to take up residence
in a one-bedroom apartment at the impressive 16th-century, Grade I listed
Grove Place. The main house provides most of the shared facilities:
three lounges, two function rooms, billiard room, card room, bar and
restaurant. There is also a swimming pool, whirlpool bath, hairdressing
salon and a shop. Plus, of course, the 94 apartments and 21 bungalows that
dot the extensive grounds, which run to 27 acres, perfect for long country
walks. And if you prefer your sport outdoors, fly fishermen will be pleased
to note that the River Test is nearby.
